HP Pascal/iX Reference Manual (31502-90022)

P-: 5
Pascal Specific Conventions
The conventions followed in this manual are summarized below:
For Text:
* The term PAC is used for the type PACKED ARRAY OF CHAR with the
lower bound equal to 1.
* Reserved words and directives are in all uppercase letters.
Examples: BEGIN, REPEAT, FORWARD
* Standard identifiers are in all lowercase letters.
Examples: readln, maxint, text
* General information concerning an area of programming (topic)
appears as a heading with initial capitalization. All headings
that are not reserved words or standard identifiers appear with
initial capitalization.
For Syntax Diagrams:
* Syntactic entities that are to be replaced by user-supplied
entities are represented by sequences of lowercase letters and
embedded underscore characters (_).
Example: identifier
* Keywords, predefined symbolic names and special symbols that must
be supplied exactly as given are shown in apostrophes. Usually,
letters may be entered in uppercase or lowercase.
Example: 'IMPORT', ','
* The diagrams are in the form of lines with directional arrows,
known as "railroad tracks". Alternative paths are indicated by
switches in the tracks.
Example:
NOTE Some diagrams and tables have a number in the lower left or right
corner, such as the number LG200009_036 in the diagram above. This
number is not part of the diagram or table. It just identifies the
artwork.
